June 30, 2010 - All of the Voices community gardens have been planted and many are full of young, healthy seedlings. A few of our gardeners have even enjoyed some nice, crisp lettuce and spinach greens already. A root crop garden (potatoes, onions, carrots, & radishes) has also been planted behind the Braemore Coop.
June 25, 2010 - The local elementary school's grade four class planted a schoolyard garden this week in raised beds provided by Voices Antigonish. This project was inspired by the Edible Schoolyard project introduced at the Voices public forum in February. The incoming grade four class will harvest the gardens in the fall and will learn how to prepare easy meals and snacks using the food they pick.
February 2010 - Our public forum was a success again this year and many great ideas came forth from the discussions. A special thanks to guest speaker Chef Michael Howell from The Tempest Restaurant in Wolfville for presenting the Edible Schoolyard project to attendees.
